Why would you fire someone with that record? I never understood how they can have that record in the season and then say he wasn't a good post-season coach. Can someone explain to me how that just happens?

Because he has a bad post season record history dating all the way back to when he was with the Hawks. He's known to be very stubborn.

Hes even more stubborn in the postseason.. Think about it, Copeland flat out came into his own during the regular season despite Woodson doing all he could to not see it and keep em on the bench, at the slightest bit of a funk, and then come postseason, he again benches Copeland after the slightest bit of a shooting funk, and dosen't start playing him again till it was basically to late, when its almost 100pct certain, Copeland could of been a diffrence maker in alot of those losses during the postseason.. Instead he gives those valuable minutes to a clearly lost Jason Kidd and struggling JR Smith..

Embarrassing playoffs for Kidd. Had to be the low point in his pro and college career. Copeland clearly deserved more minutes.

resigning JR is simply a smart move. knicks don't have to use any exceptions to do it either. at worst he can be a trade piece down the road. at best you get the 6th man of the year locked in to a 4 year, league average deal, which is a bargain.

amare potentially being healthy for the playoffs, maybe a small trade to bring someone in, who knows.

i'm worried that pablo is a goner though. i've read that he's got substantially better offers overseas. which means backup point guard will be a hole that needs to be filled.

for all the people that act like the knicks are in this terrible position, that is not the case at all. all the big contracts are set to expire the same year (if melo doesn't opt out) so the knicks will have tons of cap space to rebuild a new roster around melo, or go in a different direction. either way it's set up pretty nicely.

Not really a ton. We have Felton and Smith on the books if Smith Resigns thats about 14 million committed.If they sign Melo to an extension thats 25 million plus that 14 plus the roster holds u are up to 45 million So u get 1 max player , mid level , and a bunch of vet min contracts.
